I’ve gotten into the habit of eating lunch while I’m working specifically so I can take a short mid day nap during my scheduled “lunch” at work.

Working from home has some nice perks.

As I get older, the value of nap time has increased.

When I was a child I was very anti-nap. In my youth I was very indifferent to napping. In my mid-adult years, napping is more important than most things.

I like the cut of your jib.

As opposed to what? A single post on Reddit? Xitter? Blusky? Facebook?

How do you know that the OP, and everyone else on this thread didn’t reshare to those places?

What exactly qualifies as amplification to you? How high of a bar do we need to pass to be good enough for you, your Highness.

Posts about lack of message amplification on a post that is amplifying the message.

Cool.

It’s simple.

If law enforcement is anonymous, then anyone anonymous is law enforcement.

I’ve had security discussions with people who should know better about similar stuff. When someone calls me, I have no idea if it’s you. Caller ID is insanely easy to spoof. I’ve had banks call me and demand I identify myself to them; how about you prove to me that you are who you say you are before I start handing out my personal information?

Interestingly, they don’t seem to get it. They just go “I’m from xyz bank” yeah… You say that… How do I know you’re not lying? “I’m not lying, I’m calling from xyz bank”

Dur. We go around a few times with this before they give up.

I usually call my bank using the number on the back of my card, then ask that person if I was called and why.

Now you want me to take it… On faith, and the word of the person who is concealing their identity, that they are who they say they are?

This is the entire fucking reason that LEOs carry badges. It’s so that the public can verify that they’re talking to someone who actually is who they say they are.

Anything less is just asking for people to impersonate a LEO or ICE agent in this case.

For feedback, I would just print off the federal labor codes for my country, highlighting specific sections. I’d just hand it to the management verbatim. I wouldn’t cherry pick or leave anything out, just emphasize specific passages.

Guess what? That’s illegal here.

It would be a thinly veiled threat that I’ll ruin their lives if they don’t back track immediately… All said without uttering a single syllable.

OSHA probably cares.

The company should care, because if the workers are dropping off because of heat stroke, they’re not creating value for the shareholders.

As a straight, I agree with this.

Me personally, I’m ok, for the most part. I’m sure you are too … But all of my fellow straights? Most of them are… Well… Very not ok.

As someone who is straight/cis/male, and very secure in that… Anyone who takes offense… Probably gay. Just saying.

I don’t take any offense to this stuff. I know who I am. I know what I like. I know where I stand in the grand scheme of things. I live by a very straightforward philosophy: don’t like gay sex? don’t have gay sex. Don’t like gay marriage? Don’t get gay married. Don’t deny someone else of what you don’t want for yourself.

We’re all different, and that’s a good thing.

Do not apologize. That’s quite the story you have.

If you’re unhappy with where you are, who you are with, or who you are, you can always change. It’s never too late and trust me, as a long term supporter of the LGBTQ+ movement (despite being very straight/cis), they are a very accepting group.

As an outsider, I can’t tell you what, how, or when changes are going to work best for you, nor what changes you could, or should make. That’s entirely your decision and it’s a big one, and I’m sorry about that. I’m only saying that it’s not too late to figure out who you are and how to be comfortable with your life.

All the best. Take care of yourself.

I need to check into this, but maybe someone knows.

I assumed that if you’re using incognito and you don’t sign into your Google account, the activity wouldn’t be tied to your Google account. It might be recorded and sent to Google, but anonymously, unless you signed into Google/Gmail/YouTube/whatever, while incognito.

The obvious is that your activity wouldn’t end up on your Internet history in your non-incognito Chrome.

Right? Everyone has had eyes I guess.

I had the same thought. They just want cookie cutter shit. The same as they’ve gotten previously and generic enough to appeal to most.

That’s basically what ML is all about, catering to the average.

I stopped playing AC when zero punctuation pointed out that the game was entirely useless gofer quests. Go over there and listen to x lines of dialog only up go back and listen to y lines of dialog only to return to the first person and listen to more… And these locations were not near eachother. It was a time sink that had little point to it.

Other games use similar mechanics at times but often not with characters that are so far apart and/or not without some kind of fast travel system that can make the whole process faster.

I get what they were trying to do; that specific game had new movement mechanics that I completely ignored and just wanted to get on with it. The idea was that you were supposed to learn the new mechanics while traveling between places…

The whole thing just set me off and I stopped playing any and all AC games beyond that point. I’ll probably go back and play AC 1, maybe 2 again… But the rest… Idk if I’ll ever touch them.

I have theories about the game that are neither proven nor disproven by what is in the game.

I hope another is made simply to quell my curiosity on those theories and see whether I was right or not.

None of these answers are wrong.

Pretty sure we had CRTs in highschool, back when I was a teen many years ago that were Kia brand… IIRC.

Crazy, right?

Oh damn.

Manufacturing of any kind always causes an environmental impact. This is the way of things.

The one thing we can’t get that would mitigate the environmental costs of making stuff, is if stuff was built to last…
